Those cards are nice if your looking for a 1 card solution, but if you want a 2 card solution on an amd board then your stuck with ATI's offerings until nvidia plays nice with amd! (wishful thinking there! )

Yes, finding a good board for AMD that incorerates SLI is a pain. I am working on making an intel setup to compare the pros and cons of both options to see which is going to do me the most favours. Its interesting though... Nvidia is partnered with Square Enix for XIV apparently, yet ATI cards are dominating the benchmark. Then again, a benchmark and the real game may be as related as night and day. I'm a pretty straight forward computer user honestly. How complicated is CF / SLI? Is it something I would be configuring and reconfiguring every 2 minutes (a bit of sarcasm there)? My rule of thumb with my pc now is that if I don't understand something I don't touch it. If it needs anything get someone who does know to do it. I do not need to break it.

You might get disappointed my XFire and SLi performance. You won't always get 100% performance by adding two cards and you might get some microstuttering issues. Also keep in mind that two cards means extra power consumption and heat in the case.
